A system for debugging a device under test may include a processor register with a program count and a debug program register that receives the program count upon execution of an instruction by a processor. In one implementation, a microcontroller under test by a debugger is accessed using a serial interface, such as a JTAG interface. The interface can communicate directly with a debug register to retrieve program count values, both when the microcontroller is halted and when it is executing instructions. The polling interval to retrieve the program count values may be adjusted by a user of the debugger based on considerations such as bandwidth and accuracy. The microcontroller may transmit the program count value to the debug register from a processing register that is not accessible to the debugger.
